I have a hot ignition issue with me 350 with Thunderbolt IV ignition. I have a good used module, but still couldn't accelerate past 3500 rpms without a miss. I can pull out of the whole and hear the secondaries opening up. I also have a new fuel pump. The miss will hit hard, then I can't refire it. I will be replacing the distributor pickup and coil, then I feel I'll be ok.
You might have a similar issue.

Sounds like yor timing is retarded. Possibly the distributor is off a tooth. You might have to time it the old fashioned way.
Remove #1 plug
Turn over to TDC, using a piece of wire if you don't have a gauge
Make sure distributor is aligned with #1 plug wire (mark distributor base)
Then mark your timing mark
Then you will have base timing at zero
Fire it up and set 10* initial advance and you should be good
Hope this helps

You need to find out what the timing is at full advance and set it to 34*. Setting i to 10* base without knowing what full advance is a waste of time.
Most probably what he said^^^^^^^^^^
